system crashes when full scan is ran. Always crashes when it encounters NlsLexicons0022.dll located in the WOW64 directory.

Windows 7 / Max. Security 11.0
Quick scans run without issue, but system always crashes when full scan is run and it always occurs when it encounters NlsLexicons0022.dll in the WOW64 directory. I've uninstalled the last Windows updates and re-downloaded and re-installed the Max. Security latest version. Outcome is always the same.

When you install software that uses the NlsLexicons0022.dll dependency, the software should automatically register the file for you. In some cases your DLL file may not register properly, and as a result, will provide a "NlsLexicons0022.dll not registered" error. Fortunately, you can use a built-in utility called "Microsoft Register Server" (regsvr32.exe) to re-register your NlsLexicons0022.dll file.

How to re-register NlsLexicons0022.dll from an elevated command prompt (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

Thanks for taking the time and offering your assistance . I made it to step 7 and got the following error "The module "NlSLexicons0022.dll" was loaded but the entry-point DIIUnregisterServer was not found. Make sure "NlSLexicons0022.dll" is a valid DLL or OCX file and then try again".

I tried this command in the system32 directory, which is where the command prompt started in. I also tried it after I changed the directory to the SysWOW64 directory where this "offending" DLL is located, but still got the same error message. Do I need to be in a different root/sub directory?

I did on-line chat with a Trend-micro tech last night and he/she (name was Panky) had me install a hot-fix, but that didn't work.

Hi Vector,You may try to rename NlsLexicons0022.dll to NlsLexicons0022.dll.old and see what happen.It is no part of the OS because i got Win 10 Pro latest version an the file is not on my PCHere from you.

System got hung up @ Verification 90% complete. The following error message popped up -- "Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation".

I've tried resetting the system back to factory using the Lenovo Rescue System app, but it just reboots windows. The system also won't let me do a restore point recovery.

I always run a quick scan on the system prior to any on-line transactions or banking and run a full scan occasionally. I've never experienced any issues in the past when running full scans and quick scans always come back clean.

STEP 2. Run System File Checker to check integrity violations in the Operating System:

On your keyboard, press the Windows Windows Key + R keys. The Run window should appear.

On the Open field, type "cmd", then press ENTER. The Command Prompt window will open.

On the Open field, type "sfc /scannow", then fix corrupted files.

After trying the steps above, if there is a different error appearing, please provide a description or picture of the message.

If you can run the System File Checker smoothly, please check if you can perform a Full Scan. If the scan issue still persists, you may log in to command prompt and check drive for errors and check if that solve your issue.

In the command prompt, type the following command and hit Enter: chkdsk /r

Note: If any bad sectors are found while running the check disk utility and if attempt recovery of bad sectors is checked while checking the drive for errors, the data in the bad sector may be lost while attempting to recover bad sectors.

After trying the command if the scan issue still occurs, could you please make sure your applications are all be turned off before performing the scan.
